In EEC there is no  raising d1 to d1, which, in a version with a key signature including 3 sharps, results in a b-d1 third. It must be an oversight by the engraver of this edition (incidentally, the same notation in AI, in which a key signature containing 5 sharps is valid all the time, results in a b-d1 third). See the note in bar 33.

EEW does not contain the  raising d2 to d2, which must be an oversight by the engraver. The corresponding accidental in FE was almost certainly added in the last stage of proofreading FE1, hence initially it was also absent in GE1, in which it was added in print along with a few other sharps. This can be deduced from the fact that both FE1 and GE1 did not provide space for this accidental before the note; therefore, in both editions it must have been added only just in the stage of proofreading the already printed text.

Only quavers in AI

4 additional crotchets in FE (→EEC)

3 additional crotchets in GE

3 additional crotchets in EEW
..

The one-part writing of AI is the initial version, enhanced in the version prepared for print. The single omissions of the crotchet stems to e1 are most probably mistakes by the engravers of GE and EEW.
